A series to show how  large the crypto currency is, compared to other well known things in the world, to help translate and show value and perspective!    

*It is a TLDR / Short Form Series, covering ONLY that topic*     

It is *specifically* designed this way to keep it short and simple.

----

People can then search out extra info if they wish, or share this relevant info / company names with people to help show the growth, reality and legitimacy of $BTC/$XBT and cryptocurrency!

----

I've never seen a regular series or resource running on Steemit to continually address this basic need so I decided to do it.

#### With BTC crossing the $200B market cap just today for the 1st time (Dec. 5th, 2017, aprx. 1:30 pm  UTC time or 8:30 am EST) and with more countries relaxing rules for its use, it is a real  thing.

#### BTC began the year at about $15.5B total  market cap and we have  not included the forks of BTC in these numbers either!

## Some of the Backstory/History:

----

20 years ago a Florida man paid someone in Bitcoin to deliver him two Papa John's pizzas--which may go down as the worst financial transaction of all time. 

Today, a slice of Pizza will cost you still a few dollars, as opposed to the price of Bitcoin which is now touching  $12,000 $USD. 

Look up Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Yearly Celebration for the $20+ Million Pizza Order)

The biggest player in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin, set another record when its total value topped $200 billion for the first time Dec. 5th/2017 as discussed earlier.

##### Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone.  I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.   

###### This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, trying to build community, put out content and engage people, help and donate to people, and I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.

###### I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.     

###### Carry On.

@mvrr007 · 
if u ask my opinion if u want to do long term investment then u should go for monero or Zcash....this currencies have lower market capacities and monero is quite a famous currency too so probability of monero is highest after bitcoin.... ones bitcoin hits a higher values people will look for alternate ways....Investing in the currency is more like investing in collectible people r buying them coz there are less of the out thr if i had alot of money i would buy something rarer than something with alot of market capacity....If ur a long term investor u should know the meaning of increasing demand thats the main thing happening in the market right now it will sure make few currencies reach top of the market..
